The bears and wolves are all gone; there is nothing to be afraid of now but our natural protectors.” “Regarding History as the slaughter-bench at which the happiness of peoples, the wisdom of States, and the virtue of individuals have been victimized—the question involuntarily arises—to what principle, to what final aim these enormous sacrifices have been offered.” |
